You Don’t Have to Hustle to Be a Great Leader: How to be a Purpose Driven Leader In this episode of the Get Organized at Work Podcast, leadership coach and working mom Kayla Fahey-Ahrndt shares why hustle culture is keeping leaders reactive — and how to shift toward purposeful productivity that actually drives results. You’ll learn how to assess your work against what truly matters: your team’s goals, your leadership goals, and your organization’s goals. Kayla reveals the difference between being productive and being purposeful, how to apply her 50% or less in meetings rule, and how her client Kim found clarity and calm through proactive scheduling. 💡 Key Takeaway: Productivity ≠ Purpose.
